Present – Allen Watts

I have had issues with time all my life . The past was revisited when I was completely knocked out of the cycle of life via psychiatry, Big Pharma and supported by an X who wanted to split .

The eviction again touched on those experiences of childhood which were the ” bullets” used psychologically by X for the win . I had years of non existent reality , huge chunks of lost time that were relived in trauma . Lots of time focused on healing .

Bam , hit again by a business associate.

More time lost , and healing continued after nearly loosing my life , but I accepted Divine’s warning . Rest , sleep , honor thyself , reflect and heal . That is my present ; but doesn’t time keep on slipping into the future ?

Time is a present 🎁

Grateful to be here! At present 🎁

The Illusion of Time: Reclaiming the Present

Alan Watts captures a profound truth: our culture is obsessed with the constructs of past and future, often at the expense of the present moment. We chase memories, replay regrets, and fixate on plans, while the only real experience—the now—slips through our grasp.

Think about a family dinner. Instead of savoring the food and laughter, someone scrolls through their phone, reminiscing about old photos or planning tomorrow’s meeting. The richness of connection is lost. Or consider someone jogging through a park, headphones in, lost in a playlist. They miss the symphony of birds, the crispness of the air, and the beauty of the moment unfolding around them.

Even in conversations, we’re often distracted, crafting responses instead of truly listening. Why? Because we’re tethered to what was or what might be, rarely anchored in what is.

Watts reminds us that life exists only in the present. When we surrender the illusion of time, we reconnect with reality—whether it’s feeling gratitude for a sunrise, immersing ourselves in music, or sharing an unguarded laugh with a friend.

Reality is not yesterday or tomorrow. It is here. Now. Embrace it, and discover the joy of truly living. 🙂

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
